How much cardio do you do?

If 20 minutes is all you have time to do then keep doing it. ANY time spent exercising is better than nothing!!0

I do an hour a day going between the treadmill and eliptical.0
-
30-60 mins 5 times week usually just a nice brisk walk, trying to avoid high impact stuff til i get closer to my goal weight0
-
I only do Cardio 1-2 times a week. How long I do Cardio depends on what I do e.g. Spinning 30-45 min, Running 20-25 min, Biking (outside)-60+ min.0

Weekend mornings - run 1 hour or more
Monday and Friday morning -total conditioning or circuit which combines weights and cardio for 45 mins plus 15-30 on treadmill, eliptical or stair stepper
Wednesday morning and Friday evening - 20 mins cardio, 20 mins weights and 20 mins core in a Triple Threat class
Maybe an additional class on Tuesday evenings
They say that cardio doesn't help lose weight. I started running 5 years ago and lost 40 pounds back then, and kept it off.0 -
I do between 0 and 60 minutes conditioning per week. Usually closer to 0; Ideally closer to 60.0

About 30-40 minutes, 2-3x a week. I don't do it for the burnz, I do it because I A. Enjoy it B. I get antzy on rest days C. I'd like to be one of those people that runs a gazillion 5ks for charity.0

I used to do a lot and now I do a little. Too much cardio = too much cortisol = negative impact on HPA axis = amenorrhea = infertility. UGH! I miss it though.0

30 mins of Cardio usually intervals of some form. And I do 45 mins to an hour of strength training 4 days a week.0

I like to kick this **** out of my heavy bag between sets and I also use KB's a bit. I'd estimate about 1-2hrs a week in total.0
-
I did an hour today burning about 600 calories but noticed that when you do that it's hard to get back to your net goal in calories so next time probably will do just 40 minutes.0

I do ~1 long run a week, and a bunch of short runs, but I use my time wisely. I do more when there's more daylight to work with.0

At least 30-45 minutes a day. Running and Ellipitcal during the week and 45-60 minutes of fast walking on the weekend. I try to do it 5 or 6 times a week.0

I do 60 minutes of cardio 3 days a week (mostly jogging, some walking. Min. 5 miles), 45 mins 2 days a week (3.5 mile min), & 30 mins 1 day per week. Combined with 5 days a week strengthen training, I've dropped 17 lbs in 10 weeks (165-148) & seen great results!0

15-20 min HIIT 3x a week and 1x 45 min Zumba class, and occasionally a 5km walk
30-45 min strength training 4 days a week0 -
The one with the puppy! sorry :}
ha ha... thought you were talking about the guys above your post!0 -
6 days a week....1 rest day from cardio (besides walking about 3 miles for work!)
Run 4x a week at least 35-40 minutes
Bike at least 45 minutes 2x a week
I love cardio. I love feeling my heart pumping and being drenched with sweat. It makes my body feel so good!!
Not that I am judging, but I am always surprised when people say they only do cardio 2x a week -- you're missing out on the fun!0 -
Weekdays every day : 60 mins cycling (road)
Weekends at least one +4 hour MTB ride on one day, the other is rest day.
3 evenings in the week I do mix of Hiit 20 mins each time split 2 x 10 min with rest for 5 mins and 3 longer 30-50 min cross trainer cardio sessions
Also one spinning class (45 mins)
Also do 2-3 weight sessions a week .
When the spring comes the gym cardio (non hiit) will swap for evening mtb/road sessions.
Ive notice the amount of cardio I do is causing me a problem... no one will ride bikes with me any more as I go too fast for too long
Ive now resorted to riding with people half my age0 -
30 mins a day at least, sometimes I go 45 mins to an hour depending if I am feeling froggy.0

Last year I had to chase my dog cause he was running away. Ever since then I have avoided it.0
